Brief Answer:
Need testing

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible hematoma. And as you said it may be related to the muscles.
The ideal way to find out what this is to get a ultrasound of the region. An MRI is a better option but is more expensive.
I think I would suggest testing the same to you.
Do let us know the report for further information.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal

Thank you... i was wondering if indeed it is a hematoma, will they prescribe needs for this or does something like this have to be drained? or can these go away on its own? thank you for your time...

it depends on the size of the hematoma.
If it's a resolving or a small hematoma, then no need for drainage.
